Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (approximately 1 inch thick)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup sliced mushrooms (choose between button or cremini)

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork Chops: Begin by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels; this helps achieve a nice sear. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.

    Sear the Chops: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned pork chops. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown. This step enhances the flavor profile of the chops, although it may be skipped if time is limited.

      Layer Ingredients in the Crockpot: In a crockpot, layer the sliced onions and mushrooms at the bottom. Then, carefully place the seared pork chops on top of the vegetables to build a flavorful base.

        Add Broth and Seasonings: In a measuring cup, whisk together the chicken broth, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this aromatic mixture evenly over the pork chops in the crockpot, ensuring they are well-coated.

          Cook on Low: Secure the lid on the crockpot. Cook the pork chops on the low setting for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. When done, the pork should be fork-tender and succulent, having absorbed all the delicious flavors.

            Prepare the Gravy (optional): If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a smooth slurry. Approximately 30 minutes before you expect cooking to finish, stir the slurry into the crockpot. Continue cooking for the remaining time, allowing the gravy to thicken.

              Serve: Once cooked, carefully lift the pork chops from the crockpot and plate them. Generously spoon the savory mushroom gravy over the pork chops. For a delightful meal, serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice.
